Homeless children face numerous hardships in their personal
lives that sometimes result in significant academic, health,
developmental, psychological and emotional problems in school.
While these challenges are not insurmountable, state policymakers
must be aware of them and take extra steps to help these children
overcome the damage done by homelessness. This new ECS Web
Issue Site shares state policies and practices, federal legislation,
research and other places to get information on educating
homeless students.
